Penny Crane Claims $10,000 Prize from September 26 Powerball® Drawing

DES MOINES, Iowa – A Cordove, Ill. woman picked up a Powerball ticket when passing through Davenport and won a $10,000 prize for the September 26 drawing!

Penny Crane claimed her prize Wednesday at the Iowa Lottery's regional office in Cedar Rapids. She bought her winning Powerball ticket at Kwik Shop, 3129 Rockingham in Davenport.

The winning numbers on September 26 were 18-20-34-36-39 and Powerball 19. The Power Play multiplier was 3. Crane matched four of the first five numbers drawn and the Powerball to win a $10,000 prize. Had she added the Power Play® to her ticket, Crane would have multiplied her $10,000 win by three and won a total of $30,000.

Players can increase their prizes with the Power Play (except the jackpot) up to five times. The cost is $1 per play. The Power Play number, 2 through 5, is chosen at the beginning of the drawing indicating the amount prizes (except the jackpot) will be multiplied if that number is drawn.

For players who choose the Power Play and match five white balls (regularly a $200,000 prize), the multiplier will always be 5, so those players would win an instant $1 million.
